@Shiro (yeah blaming twitter :) I was unable to understand how the London logo made it through the eyes of an obviously shocked London 2012 Olympic Committee. And Wolff Olins' site is equally hideous. The only explanation could, perhaps, be that somebody knew somebody who knew somebody .. you know, the Kenyan way, in which case the apple hasnt fallen very far from its colonial master.

On NTV's array of colours, well I guess once in a while they had to break away from the usual bland and boring logo theme for a more playful one. And I think a really good artist(e) should be able to push as close to the limits as possible and still captivate. Ama?

I think this Wolf guy may have done the NTV logo.

ken,

For all the accolades you heaped on the designer of the London 2012 Olympics official logo (we can now establish it is Wolff Olins) I couldnt help but google him to see for myself. Ladies and gentlemen, you had only seen a tip of the iceberg in the NTV logo.. the rest of the iceberg is here !

I am awe-struck :)

I have nothing to say on that logo, let the artistic speak. But let me
introduce you to the worst logo ever designed - the London 2012
olympics official logo. It was reported that the colours caused fits
among children. Cant remember the exact link but the dude was paid
£400,000 for the job. Interestingly he is the same guy who did the
Safaricom logo. All i remember is that his site looked like a Kenya
Times newspaper!
